August 3 - bring your Buick! https://rockfallsraceway.com/our-races/muscle-car/ Gates Open at 8 a.m. Time Trials at 9 a.m. Eliminations around 1-1:30 p.m. Cost to race is $42 Spectators: $12. Class Eliminations will be conducted in 1/2 second increments. For example, if your car runs 12:33 your class would be 12:00 to 12:49 and so on. The first car of each pair that gets to the finish line first, wins (UNLESS the 1st car/driver has “broke out” which is running under your specific index.) If you win two rounds of competition, you win a trophy. If you lose 1st or 2nd round of your eliminator, we have a free consolation race. The Consolation Race eliminations will be run bracket racing style with dial-ins and the final 4 racers will receive trophies!! We may also have some head to head competition between different manufacturers, i.e., Chevy, Ford, Dodge, etc. Further details will follow later. General NHRA rules apply. Street, DOT or slicks allowed. Open exhaust or mufflers also allowed. Also, because of some phone calls we have received to clarify what we will accept for a Muscle Car, anything that is 1972 and older is accepted but we will also accept any late model muscle car from ’73 to present.

I've raced at Rock Falls a number of times and for a small track they do a real good job with track prep. Staging lanes are well-marked and organized. The run-off area is long enough to be safe and the pit areas are clean and well kept, though not as much asphalt as some prefer. I'd give it a solid 7, can't go any higher just because of the small size of the track and spectator seating areas.
I’ve only raced there. I like it. I agree with the above comment but i would say at least an 8. They have new ownership and have added a concrete wall and repaved part of the track. Making improvements!
